Title: Improvements in Means for Regulating the Closing of Electric Bell Circuits.
Inventor: HERRDE CARL
IPC: H01H51/08
Filed: 1910-08-16
Granted: 1911-08-16
Abstract: 19,199. Herrde, C. Aug. 16. Striking-mechanism.-For regulating the frequency of closing of an electric-bell circuit, the circuit is broken simultaneously at the bell and at a separate automatic switch, the closing of which is controlled by adjustable retarding- devices so that, although the circuit is again closed at the bell immediately, it is not completed until, after a predetermined interval, the automatic switch closes. The device may be employed to cause a bell to strike the hours in conjunction with a clock. The initial impulse is given by the clock-work or other means energizing the solenoid U, Fig. 5, which draws down the lever U<1>, which in its return movement under the action of a spring rotates the notched wheel W<1> through one tooth by means of the pawl V. Consequently, the lever T is raised from its position in the notch w into engagement with the contact T', whereupon the bell gives a series of impulses controlled by the contacts b and the dash-pot device X until the lever T falls into the next notch.

Title: Movable Charger for Looms in which the Pirn is Automatically Changed in the Shuttle.
Inventor: WENNING JEAN CHARLES ALFRED
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-11-03
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 25,586. Wenning, J. C. A. Nov. 3. [Addition to 13,522/08.] Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In pirn-changing mechanism of the type described in the parent Specification, the reserve of thread of each pirn comprises a cluster or bunch of thread, which may be formed by stretching the thread until it breaks and allowing it to jump back by its own elasticity to form a cluster or loop on the body of the pirn, a brush or other device engaging and holding the free end of weft after the pirn has been transferred into the shuttle to enable shuttlethreading to be accomplished. The empty pirnholding clips slide from the fixed frame E<1> on to a lower movable frame or receiving filler E. The pirns are inserted in the clips in such positions that the weft reserves are held between the pirns and the clips. When the transferrer H is depressed to insert a pirn into the shuttle, a finger h actuates a.lever o carrying the brush n, which is thereby moved to the position shown in dotted lines, so that when the shuttle is next picked the weft-reserve is engaged and held by the brush. When the lay returns, the lever o strikes a spring p and is thereby moved into its normal position, shown in full lines, a flat spring p<1> provided with two notches to engage a finger q on the lever o holding this lever in its two positions. When the lay advances, the raised brush deposits the thread which it holds on the first teeth of a toothed piece r fixed to the breast beam. When the lay next advances and beats up, a toothed pusher s pushes the thread over the first teeth of the piece r, so that it may be severed by scissors arranged on the temple, and the reserves of thread on the last teeth of the piece rare withdrawn by hand when necessary. The brush may be replaced by movable jaws or a suction apparatus.
Patent GB-191027855-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Hand-rammers for Paving Purposes.
Inventor: KAYE HERMANN
IPC: E01C19/35
Filed: 1910-11-30
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 27,855. Kaye, H. Dec. 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Percussive hand tools.-Relates to hand rammers for paving purposes, operated by compressed air, steam, or other pressure fluid, and consists in a device whereby the rammer is readily movable laterally while in operation. The spring-controlled piston 2, which is provided with an inlet port 4 and outlet port 5 separated by a collar 6, is controlled by a hand-lever. On depressing the piston 2, the pressure inlet pipe 9 is connected by the port 4, through the pipe 10, to the piston 14, which is thereby depressed, first causing the nose 16 of the piston-rod 15 to press on the road - way, then lifting the cylinder 11 and attached monkey 13, and compressing the spring 17. On releasing its controlling handlever, the piston 2 rises, and the port 5 connects the pipe 10 to the exhaust pipe 12. The pressure on the piston 14 being thus released, the compressed spring 17 causes the nose 16 to spring back into its recess before the rammer falls, and as the whole rammer is momentarily above the ground, it can readily be moved bodily in a lateral direction to ram a fresh portion of the road. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also means, replacing the spring 17, for returning the nose 16, by conducting the pressure fluid under the piston 14 when the monkey is freely suspended; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
